EXPOSURE – 8 Segment Metering

FOCUS – AF Illuminator

The AF Illuminator is a secondary

function of the built-in flash. When the

scene is too dark for the camera to

focus accurately, the built-in flash fires

a few short bursts when the shutter-

release button is pressed partway

down to provide the illumination

necessary for the camera to focus on

your subject.

• The range of the AF Illuminator flash is approximately one to five

meters.

• The AF illuminator will not fire in continuous focus mode or if

flash cancel ( ) is selected.

• The AF illuminator will not operate with 300mm or longer single

focal length lenses.

• The AF illuminator will not operate with 3x-1x Macro Zoom.

• When an accessory flash is attached, its AF illuminator will be

active in place of the camera’s AF illuminator.

• Changing Camera Functions (p70) lets you cancel the built in

flash’s AF illuminator if it will interfere with your subject or is

inappropriate.

Eight-Segment Honeycomb-Pattern Metering is the camera’s

standard metering mode and is appropriate for most photographic

situations.
